A mammoth £12m government events roster put out to tender by the Central Office of Information (COI) last month attracted more than 1,000 applicants, Event can reveal.
An impressive 1,080 companies put themselves forward for the pitch, and the COI is now reviewing the applications to whittle them down to the best few.
The first stage of the process will be to weed out the applications that are not suitable.
“There will be companies in there who are not relevant no matter how clear we made it,” said COI director of live events Simon Hughes. “For example, PR or advertising firms companies may have applied.”
Those agencies that do make it through and onto the roster will be able to compete for government and public sector work without going through an arduous procurement process
